B
Explanation
According to the United Kingdom's Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, qualifying remedies are open to all workers through whistleblower lawsuits who ‘blow the whistle’ honestly on illegal practices or other specific categories of malpractice.Depending on local law a protected disclosure or 'whistleblowing' law might explicitly include or exclude any particular classes of activities. In this context, we are dealing with A mentioning a risk scenario of physical contention due to unresolved bullying; and B suggesting there's a case probably heading into a sideslip of any legal obligation. Both A and B ostensibly meet the 'qualifying criteria for proclamation'. But some might argue A is more about first aiding over a potentially dangerous physical Abuse rather than a direct shot over illegal practice or particular categories of malpractice (However, it does involves covert bullying/moral abuse). Whilst, Scenario B is very explicitly about someone's direct relationship & commitments towards the law (Illegally bypassing/trying to disregard his legal responsibility). For assessing, 'Qualifying Disclose' it seems more reasonable to go with B.
